The top pick-up trucks to check out today

A pick-up can be the ideal tool for all kinds of jobs. Whether you need to transport heavy goods on a frequent basis or like to take mountain bikes on big adventures, a pick-up truck is something that can make the toughest of jobs a little easier.

Though the pick-up market might have been dwindling over the last few years, there’s still some good variety out there to consider. Let’s see what’s on offer today.

There are a good number of specifications to choose from, too, including the range-topping Raptor which throws in a punchy V6 petrol engine and a range of performance upgrades which make it near-peerless on the rough stuff.

It’s got enough load space to carry a full-sized Euro pallet, too, and just like the standard car should prove very capable off-road.

There’s loads of good equipment inside and the whole interior is built solidly as well. Fortunately, it’s backed up by decent off-road manners as well.

It can match many rivals in terms of its load-carrying ability and should be able to return over 200 miles from a single charge. Top-up using cheap home energy rates and it’ll prove a lot cheaper to run than others on this list, too.

Available with both manual and automatic gearboxes, the Musso is a truck which punches well above its weight in terms of capability.

You can also get it in head-turning Arctic Trucks specification, too, which adds in huge wheels and massively bolstered arches for even more performance off-road.
